The goal in question occurred during an A-League game between Newcastle Jets and Melbourne City FC on Friday night.

Eventually, he ended up lobbing it with a scorpion kick over the bewildered Melbourne City goalkeeper and in to the net!

The goal proved to be pivotal as Jets doubled their goal tally later on in the game to reach the A-League Grand final by overcoming the Melbourne outfit by 2-1.
